   * gem5-gpu does not model the CUDA texture memory space. This would require aligning GPGPU-Sim's address space identifiers for texture memory with memory allocations and accesses in gem5-gpu.   * gem5-gpu does not model the CUDA texture memory space.

   * Though GPGPU-Sim provides some support for asynchronous copy engine activity and multiple GPU kernel streams, this functionality has not yet been pulled into gem5-gpu.   * Though GPGPU-Sim provides some support for asynchronous copy engine activity and multiple GPU kernel streams, this functionality has not yet been pulled into gem5-gpu.
